“a cacophony of clattering drums and belt-it-out choruses Los Campesinos! or Martha would be proud of evidence that Adults seem to have stumbled into something rather marvellous” 
For The Rabbits

“There’s an ample buoyancy from the vocal work, and the guitars are crunchy, though I like how they’re a bit tempered here; think of Martha having to play at your local library…hooks, but just a little more subdued. There’s just something about this song that radiates joy” Austin Town Hall

South London DIY punk outfit adults today release the final single single “tfl has a lot to answer for” form their forthcoming debut album “for everything, always”, coming out on October 14th on Fika Recordings.

The new single things we achieve is “a reflection of drinking way too much in yr mid 20s, staying up too late, burning yrself out and how it impacts on yr relationships and mental health” it’s two and a half minutes of delightfully scrappy, catchy DIY pop that’s sure to appeal to fans of Los Campesinos, Martha and Johnny Foreigner.

adults are a noisy pop band desperately clinging on to the ghosts of 2009. 
Their songs are a silly, joyful, and occasionally sad, look back at the tail end of their 20s, a way to grapple with breakups, parties, alcohol and loneliness, and looking hopefully into the future.
They’ve released singles with Art Is Hard and For The Sakes Of Tapes, and self released an EP (The Weekend Was Always Almost Over), which was subsequently released on vinyl by Caballito records. They’re based in south London.

adults are
carl (he/they) - bass
joe (he/him) - drums
joely (she/they) - guitar and singing
tom (he/him) - guitar, synth, singing

adults - tfl has a lot to answer for

me & you

i wanna feel the way a blue nile song sounds
i wanna walk across the rooftops
i wanna write a love song for someone 
for once

when i met you i thought we were onto something
but you were a lesson
put comfort and shame in a blender 
it won't meld together

i said too much
got embarrassed
wouldn't recommend it
hated your guts in the morning
missy said to end it

i need a reframe
regeneration
and a bit of understanding
a cut cord between two candles
baby, that's a happy ending

i wanted you to see me
i wanted you to want to walk me home
i didn't make it easy but i
don't have to tell you why i'm worth the time

so, baby, if you see me
pretend you didn't see me

theydevil

get embarrassed!

time piece

kiss mother goodbye

I do 
Love you
I do

I do
Need you

Those eyes we need are miles away
to clumsy to see
it slowly slip away
even if we stay 

but I do I do, I do love you
and I hope you know it’s true
I do I do, I do need you

but the ghosts will laugh
knowing all the things
I have yet to learn 
in the hardest way

perfecting no expression no expression
perfecting no expression

I’m weighing down the air we breath
I’m weighing down the air we  need
I’m wayving down the air you need
I’m weighing down the air I need

But your just another stranger to me
another strange in the house with me
But for what it’s worth
your my favorite stranger

I Do V.2

some place afar
i wanna sit in front of a volcano

distant affairs
i wanna stop but its so hard to say no

and theres a crack down the road
i can see it from a month away

rush in
jump in
im ready to erupt
youre ready to erupt too

suffering
in the ash
but hey, its breathing
its what we do

rush in/volcano/milotic???

lyrics:

You dont gotta worry, aint nobody comes here
Don't you worry, don't you worry now

I park my car across the street
It's not too far, a little treat
That dream you had ain't gonna help you here
Whether affair or dealing drugs
A fallen man, a couple thugs
That dream you had ain't gonna help you here

no one really comes here (w/ FrankKing)

Baby Boy

[part 1: food]

hey max, take your shirt off
it's overworn
aren't you almost 18?
relax, i wont judge
tonight i'm yours, plus
you've got a nice physique

now you're talking about hungry you are
"trust me, it goes once you start"
and you're walking around the fight i've endured
i guess i hide it too well

so i won't worry about
any name you call me
when you like how it sounds
so dont worry about any of my feelings
just call me food and eat me tonight
i can rid your appetite
just call me food and eat me

take off my wrapper
kiss my tender golden shell
just be careful, i'm soft
and i know it doesn't matter
but im not here to loosen belts
just to take some shirts off

now they're on the ground
and we're dancing in dark
trust me, i know you've got a good heart
you're a glutton and proud
i'm envious of everybody else
i guess we're going to hell

so i won't worry about
any name you call me
when you like how it sounds
so dont worry about any of my feelings
just call me food and eat me tonight
i can rid your appetite
just call me food and eat me

[part 2: alcoholic]

on my way home late at night
high school forefront of my mind
something about is making me numb
somehow i can't get enough

oh i just wanna put you down
but you're glued to my hands right now
grab another, further down the gutter

just noticed how often
these thoughts are in my head
something about 'em is making me think
i'm addicted to these feelings [x3]

you just wanna put me down
but im glued to your hands right now
its forever, maybe its for the better
cause its been worse but now this is better, right?
right?

cant stop drinking empty feelings
think this bottles deep as deep ends
cant stop drinking empty feelings
i think im an-
cant stop drinking empty feelings
think this bottles deep as deep ends
cant stop drinking empty feelings
i think im an alcoholic

oh i dont where id be without
everything i put in my mouth
i just wish we could put us down
but our bodies are glued to our hands right now

its forever
drown me out

get embarrassed!
